Official costs of Tokyo Olympics up by 22% to $15.4 billion :!:
apnews.com | 2020 Dec. 22
The official cost of the postponed Tokyo Olympics has increased by 22%, the local organizing committee said Tuesday in unveiling its new budget.
In an on-line news conference, organizers said the Olympics will now cost $15.4 billion to stage. This is up from $12.6 billion in last year’s budget.
The added $2.8 billion is the cost of the one-year delay. Added expenses come from renegotiating contracts and measures to combat the COVID-19 pandemic.

Fresh fears for Tokyo Olympics as host city sees surge in Covid-19 infections
—Tokyo reported 1,300 new coronavirus infections on Thursday
—Health experts concerned over stretched medical infrastructure

theguardian.com | Fri 1 Jan 2021 03.00 EST
When Japanese and International Olympic Committee officials finally accepted defeat in March and postponed the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, there was general agreement that a one-year wait would give the world ample time to overcome the coronavirus pandemic.
The delayed Olympics, the then prime minister Shinzo Abe said, would be an opportunity to pay tribute to the human spirit in overcoming the world’s biggest public health crisis for a century.
But in the nine months since the first postponement in the modern Games’ 124-year history, Olympic officials have found themselves wrongfooted by the virus at every turn. Far from the communal celebration of sport envisaged by Abe, the harsh realities of Covid-19 have forced them to lower their expectations.

Seems you're enjoying the saga with the Tokyo Olympics, Taro!

Don't worry, I do too.

Wifey says that the GoTo Travel campaign was a practice run for the Olympics, and the residents of Japan were the Guinea pigs. Well, if that is true, then it shows without doubt the risks of holding the Olympics this year.

I wonder, how other countries view this. If Suga says :thumbs: , will they all happily send their best athletes to Japan, possibly risking their health?

That's the genius of Japan's plan!

Other countries will send their worst athletes, allowing Japan to win all the golden medals...

Well, the Japanese government could always make a nice theme out of it.

Taro's Article wrote:In the poll, 35.3% called for the cancellation of the Tokyo Games, while 44.8% said the games should be put off again.

This means that 64.7% don't want them cancelled and 55.2% don't want them postponed, so 119.9% want the Olympics. Let's Orimpiku!

Democracy at work :D
